The total earnings of a car for a trip would be smaller than had it been able to run loaded to one-half or one-third of its capacity throughout the entire distance. Under ordinary conditions the development of long distance traffic is practically impossible. The existence of a defective and inadequate roadbed and equipment on a portion of the journey makes the whole ride unattractive. The comparative shortness of each road necessitates frequent change of cars, while the fail- ure to closely adh...ere to schedules results in frequent missed con- nections and consequent vexatious delays. It is practically im- possible to develop any considerable long distance business so long as it is necessary to change cars. A considerable through business can only be developed where special facilities are provided. Two methods are generally employed in offering through ser- vice. The first is the coupling of a through car to the local car, running the two of them as a train. The through car is detached at the end of each road and is attached to the local on the next system.
